This is another UNESCO World Heritage listed site in Japan – Kiyomizu-dera (音羽山清水寺, Otowa-san Kiyomizu-dera, literally means “Pure Water Temple”), one of the oldest Buddhist temple in Kyoto.

The flamingly beautiful autumn leaves at Kiyomizudera.

Osaka breaking news: A mysterious sighting of a humongous “Spider-crab” making its way up the building…

… and a Singapore tourist had devoured one of those jumbo crab legs!

The magnificent Osaka Castle is one of Japan’s most famous castle popularly visited by thousands during the cherry blossom bloom – hanami or “flower viewing”.

    Those pictures of the trees are just amazing. What color you got there. I remember seeing that picture of that giant crab on a travel-food show I watch here. I have never had crab before I don’t think. Very nice photos.
